In chapter two when Joe notices that Pip's bread is missing, he starts talking about 'bolting' and how he use to do it and it's not good manners and other things like that.

Eating your food really, really fast. Like "bolting it down your throat." If I recall, Pip's aunt makes both Pip and Joe take some medicine because they ate their food too fast...probably a digestive or something.....but actually he was saving it for Magwitch, if I remember correctly.

to bolt your food is to stuff it into your face and eat it too fast -- considered rude in Dickens' time and today as well.

It means he is eating too quickly, barely taking the time to chew.

I think that means he's eating his food too quickly.
